My
focus lies in integrating the insights from our inner work into
positive action on the outside for ourselves, the people around us, and
this planet. I believe that we are living in an extraordinary moment in
history—a time when traditional systems are no longer serving us and
where we are asked to create new ways of working, thinking, and being.
My
teachings combine ancient wisdom with modern scientific insights,
complex systems thinking, and real-world illustrations for people who
want to create meaningful and positive impact in our rapidly changing
world.
I am the founder of VDB Insights as well as an active Board member and Investor. Additionally, I serve as the Chairwoman of The Klosters Forum, an environmental non-profit organization dedicated to fostering positive change. I am a Certified Mindfulness Meditation Teacher,
taught by Jack Kornfield and Tara Brach, accredited by the Greater Good
Science Center at the University of California at Berkeley, and a Transformational Breath Coach. I hold degrees from the London School of Economics, Harvard Business School, and ETH Zurich and have a Ph.D. in Science.
Moreover, I am currently writing my first book – a mindfulness guide
for business leaders who want to change the world right now.
Outside
my professional pursuits, I find joy in my role as a spouse and parent
to two seven-year-old children. I live in Switzerland, near Zurich,
where I love being out in nature together with my two dogs.
